A. Project Description:
The proposed project involves the construction of a 1 Oft. wide multi -use path in the Wake
County Town of Holly Springs. The first section (approximately 760ft.) will begin on the
west side of the NC55 bypass at the current terminus of the recently constructed trail within
the Morgan Park subdivision and will travel north, running generally parallel to the NC 55
bypass, and will connect to the existing pedestrian culvert under the bypass. This section
includes one crossing of Utley Creek. The second proposed section of trail (approximately
145ft.) will connect from the pedestrian culvert to the existing section of trail on the east
side of the NC 55 Bypass within the Ballenridge subdivision. This section includes a culvert
crossing of an unnamed tributary to Utley Creek. The third proposed section of trail
(approximately 560ft.) will connect from the current terminus of the existing trail located just
east of Chilmark Ridge Dr. to the sidewalk system along W. Ballentine Street. This section
includes a crossing of Utley Creek. The project will also include repairs to the existing
greenway within the project limits.
The proposed project is included in the 2018-2027 North Carolina State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP).
B. Description of Need and Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to provide a pedestrian connection between the west side of
the Town of Holly Springs and the east side of the town which includes downtown. There
are currently several sections of existing trail that have been constructed along with
residential development in the area and there is also an existing pedestrian culvert that has
been constructed under the NC55 Bypass. This project proposes to enhance pedestrian
mobility and safety and to encourage more pedestrian trips in the project area by
eliminating the gaps between the existing infrastructure to provide a continuous pedestrian
path for connectivity.

Updated 4/25/17

E. Special Project Information:
The construction of the 10ft wide trail will involve a limited amount of clearing and grubbing
and grading and will require placement of subgrade material and asphalt paving. The two
bridge crossings of Utley Creek have been selected based on natural topography,
floodplain modeling, natural and cultural resource investigations, cost analysis and
constructability reviews.
Natural Resources
Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. (CEI) visited the project study area to conduct a wetland and
stream delineation, as well as habitat assessments for species listed by the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Wake County. A Natural Environment FSM
Checklist was completed.
The delineation identified two jurisdictional streams (Utley Creek and one UT to Utley
Creek). No wetlands were found to be within the study area.
Threatened and endangered species habitat assessments were performed. No habitat is
present for any listed species, with the exception of Northern long-eared bat. Northern
long-eared bat has a standard biological conclusion of May Affect — Likely to Adversely
Affect due to a Programmatic Opinion by the USFWS for NCDOT Division 1-8 projects.
No maternity trees or hibernacula have been documented in Wake County.
Cultural Resources
The North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office's GIS Web Service was used to
screen for any historic resources or properties within the study area. No historic resources
or properties were found within the study area. A start of study letter was also sent to the
SHPO in order to soilicit their input. A response letter was provided by SHPO stating that
they are not aware of any historic resources that would be affected by the project.
Agency Coordination
A start of study email was sent to the following resource agencies on April 16, 2019 to
solicit their feedback:
• NCDEQ — Division of Water Resources — Emailed response stating that a 401 permit
may be required, subject to USACE assessment, if there are any stream impacts
from the project. The project is not in a buffered basin and there were no wetlands
found within the study area.
• SHPO - Response letter was provided stating that they are not aware of any historic
resources that would be affected by the project.
• NCWRC — Emailed response stating that they had no specific comments or
concerns.
• USFWS — No response provided.
• USACE - No response provided.
Permit Considerations
A Nationwide Permit 14 and Water Quality Certification is anticipated for this project. The
USACE holds the final discretion as to what permit will be required to authorize
construction. If a Section 404 permit is required then a Section 401 Water Quality
Certification will be needed. Since the project will utilize bridges to cross Utley Creek,
2 Updated 4/25/17

stream impacts will be limited to one culvert crossing of a tributary to Utley Creek and a
few loctions of streambank impact due to ditches outletting to the creek. At the culvert
crossing of the tributary, the stream has already been impacted by ATV use.
There were no wetlands found within the study area.
Public Involvement:
A public meeting was held on April 30, 2019 at the Holly Springs Town Hall. Based on
conversations at the meeting and comment forms received, the project does not generate
substantial controversy or public opposition.

TIP No. C-5406JA
The Town of Holly Springs will identify all final construction impacts to the jurisdictional features and will
then apply for and obtain environmental permits as necessary from the USACE and NCDEQ DWR prior
to construction. Permit conditions must be adhered to during the design and construction of the project.
The USFWS has developed a programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in conjunction with the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA), the USACE, and NCDOT for the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) in
eastern North Carolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Division 1-8, including all
NCDOT projects and activities. The programmatic determination for NLEB for the NCDOT program is
"May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect". The PBO provides incidental take coverage for NLEB and will
ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for five years for all NCDOT projects
with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8.
As a project requirement for PBO compliance, after project completion, the construction
contract administrator will submit the actual amount of tree clearing reported in tenths of
acres to the NCDOT Environmental Analysis Unit. This information should be submitted at:
https:Hconnect.ncdot.gov/site/construction/biosurveys/Lists/Northern%20Long°/o20Eared%20Bat/

MEMORANDUM
3040 NC Hwy 42 West; Clayton, NC 27520
P:919-606-1065 — F:919-585-5570
TO: Mr. Jonathan Hefner, Wetherill Engineering
FROM: Phil May; Carolina Ecosystems, Inc.
DATE: July 5, 2019
RE: Natural Environment FSM Checklist
Utley Creek Greenway
Wake County, NC
Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. (CEI) is providing this memo to summarize the findings from the site
visits to the Utley Creek Greenway extension to conduct a wetland and stream delineation, as
well as habitat assessments for species listed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) in Wake County. The completed Natural Environment FSM Checklist is attached for
your records.
The delineation identified two jurisdictional streams (Utley Creek and one UT to Utley Creek).
No wetlands were found to be within the study area.
Threatened and endangered species habitat assessments were performed. No habitat is present
for any listed species, with the exception of Northern long-eared bat. Northern long-eared bat
has a standard biological conclusion of May Affect — Likely to Adversely Affect due to a
Programmatic Opinion by the USFWS for NCDOT Division 1-8 projects. No maternity trees or
hibemacula have been documented in Wake County.
If you have any questions, or need further information regarding this investigation, please call
me at your convenience at [phone] or email me at [e-mail].

The only right-of-way required for the project is a vacant lot along the west side of the NC 55 Bypass
which the existing pedestrian culvert under the NC 55 Bypass exits onto. The trail design minimizes
impacts to this parcel by staying close to the right-of-way of the NC 55 Bypass.
2. Are negative impacts to pedestrian or bicycle facilities possible?
Pedestrian and bicycle impacts include facilities that currently do not or that after completion
will not meet ADA or comply with Complete Streets policies, blocked or notably delayed
crossings (temporary or permanent), notably longer or indirect routes, insufficient space to
share or to separate lanes, a notable increase in conflict points, and similar barrier effects or
inadequate accommodations.
❑ Not present/Not applicable
© No
❑ Yes
As this project is a bike and pedestrian project, there will be positive impacts for bikes and pedestrians
as the project will complete a missing gap within the Town's trail network.
3. Are negative impacts to transit possible?
Transit is considered to be present if a fixed route bus travels along the project corridor or if it
travels along an intersecting street and crosses the project corridor. There does not need to be
a stop within the project footprint. Impacts include notable delays, stop relocations, and/or
increased difficulty for bus riders to reach a stop.
X❑ Not present/Not applicable
❑ No
❑ Yes
1IPage

4. Are negative impacts to local traffic on intersecting routes possible?
Local traffic impacts include closed intersections, notably longer routes to reach destinations on
the other side of the project corridor, notable delays or difficulties for emergency vehicles,
school buses, garbage trucks, farm equipment, etc. to cross the corridor, inadequate
accommodation of vehicles making left or U turns to access local streets, and similar concerns.
Adding signals, roundabouts, superstreets or medians do not, in and of themselves, notably
impact local traffic, but the spacing of median openings and distances needed to make U turns
may have negative impacts.
❑ Not present/Not applicable
® No
❑ Yes
The only changes to existing streets will be moving the curb ramp along the west side of Chilmark Ridge
Dr. (neighborhood street., low traffic volumes) to align with the curb ramp on the east side of the street
and the addition of a crosswalk along W. Ballentine St.
5. Are negative impacts to parks and recreational facilities possible?
Right-of-way impacts may be permanent or temporary, including temporary construction
easements. Access impacts must substantially impair access to and use of a facility, such as
during construction should lane narrowing or detours notably hinder vehicles with trailers from
reaching a boat ramp. Parks and recreation facilities must be publicly owned or leased and
open to the public.
❑ Not present/Not applicable
© No
❑ Yes
The only impacts to parks and recreation facilities will be the temporary closure of the existing trail
during construction from Chilmark Ridge Dr. to its current terminus just east of the NC 55 Bypass.
6. Are negative impacts to farmland soils, agricultural operations or voluntary agriculture
districts possible?
Right-of-way impacts may be permanent or temporary, including temporary construction
easements, which convert farmland to non farm use. Access impacts must substantially impair
access to and use of an operation, such as during construction should lane narrowing, detour
routes or detour bridge weight limits prevent farm vehicles from accessing fields or require low
2 1 P a g e

speed vehicles to use high speed roads. VADs and EVADs are not impact categories but may
affect right-of-way acquisition and are noted to avoid project delay.
® Not present/Not applicable
❑ No
❑ Yes
7. Is the project potentially inconsistent with local area land development plans, health or
active transport goals, or economic development needs? Is it possible for the project to
negatively impact businesses and economic resources through loss of parking, reduced
visibility, notable changes in access or travel patterns, disruption of district or corridor stability
and cohesion through relocations or barrier effects, or similar impacts?
❑ Not present/Not applicable
® No
❑ Yes
The project will complete gaps within the existing trail network and will encourage non -vehicular trips.
Business and economic resources will not be negatively impacted.
8. Is it possible that the project may negatively impact community resources, or to alter the
overall functioning of a district, community or neighborhood, or disrupt connections between
residential and commercial, institutional, recreational and employment areas? Is it possible for
the project to negatively affect emergency services access or pedestrian safety, including
perceived crime concerns? Are there any known or anticipated concerns or controversies
relative to the project?
❑ Not present/Not applicable
© No
❑ Yes
The project seeks to improve connections within the Town's trail network and will positively impact
community resources by providing a route for non -vehicular trips to the downtown area and also
expanding the trail network for recreation. Emergency services access and pedestrian safety should not
be changed by the project. There are no anticipated concerns or controversies relative to the project.
9. Is it possible for the project to add to recurring effects on any populations, neighborhoods or
communities? Recurring effects include past, current and anticipated near term actions that
may have minor impacts individually but when taken as a whole may have notable effects.
❑ Not present/Not applicable
© No
❑ Yes
No recurring effects anticipated.

10. Is it possible for the project to have a disproportionately high and adverse impact, including
delay or denial of benefit, on low income, young, old, disabled or minority persons?
❑ Not present/Not applicable
0 No
❑ Yes
No adverse impacts anticipated.
Indirect Impacts
11. Is it likely that the project may result in travel time savings of more than one minute?
© No
❑ Yes
12. Will the project permanently add new connections to the existing road network (i.e. new
intersections, intersection -to -interchange conversions' or new service roads2)?
® No
❑ Yes
13. Will the project provide new or expanded access to properties?
® No
❑ Yes
14. Will the project encourage the development of activity centers or similar areas of
concentrated, moderate to high intensity land development or redevelopment?
® No
❑ Yes
1 This refers to a replacement as an individual project. Converting intersections to interchanges as part of corridor
upgrade projects should be considered within the context of the larger project.
z This refers to construction of new roads along an existing highway frontage to provide access where none has
existed previously. Generally this does not apply to constructing service roads to replace driveways due to a
change in access or other access management considerations.

Jonathan,
Thank you for requesting comments for this project.
Your package suggests no wetlands on site and this project is not in a Buffered Basin. Therefore, I do not have many
comments. Your attachments suggest that the plan is to completely bridge over the streams with no impacts. If so,
then this project would not require a 401 from my office, as long as the USCOE agrees with that assessment.
Let me know if you need anything else from our office.
Thank you,

Wetherill Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the Town of Holly Springs is requesting your comments on the Utley Creek
Greenway Connection in Wake County, North Carolina.
Project Location: From the existing Morgan Park Trail on the west side of the NC 55 Bypass to W. Ballentine Street on
the east side of the NC 55 Bypass generally following Utley Creek in Holly Springs, NC.
Project Contact: See below
Project Description: The project involves the construction of approximately 1,550 ft of new greenway trail consisting
of a 10-foot wide asphalt trail, two bridge crossings of Utley Creek, and repair and resurfacing of approximately 1,400
ft of existing greenway. The construction of the trail will involve clearing and grubbing, grading, placement of
subgrade material and asphalt paving. The bridge locations have been selected based on natural topography,
floodplain modeling, natural and cultural resource investigations, cost analysis and constructability reviews.

Streams and habitats for threatened and endangered species within the project study area were reviewed on January
31, 2019 by Carolina Ecosystems. See attached natural environment checklist.
I have also included the USGS quad map, the title sheet from the plan set with vicinity map, the project plan sheets, and
site photos.
We would appreciate any information you might have that would be helpful in evaluating potential environmental impacts
of the project. If applicable, please identify any permits or approvals which may be required by your agency. Your
comments will be used in the preparation of a federally -funded Categorical Exclusion checklist through NCDOT. This
document will be prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. It is desirable that your agency
respond by May 17, 2019 so that your comments can be used in the preparation of this document.
If you have any questions or comments concerning the project, please contact me. Thank you for your assistance.
